levels; the on-site assessment of phonometric measurements to monitor the impact of the
antropophonies on the biophonies. The data-flow will actively involve a sector leading
company selected among those which expressed their interest. Sound quality maps will be
created and made accessible and updatable by users through an open data web interface,
